Most TikTok views happen on mute. Captions for TikTok videos need to be large, timed to speech, and burned into the MP4 so they still show if someone saves or reposts the clip.

You can add captions to video online with Caption-Lagao — a free AI video caption generator. No watermark, no account required.

A 60-second workflow

  1. Export or save your TikTok draft as MP4.
  2. Drop it on the Caption-Lagao create page.
  3. Generate captions. Wait for word-timed subtitles.
  4. Set the canvas to 9:16 if it is not already vertical.
  5. Keep captions above TikTok’s bottom UI (username, buttons, captions bar).
  6. Export a captioned MP4 and upload it as your TikTok.

Captions should appear as the words are spoken, not a beat later.

What makes TikTok captions readable

  • Two lines max. Cut long sentences into beats.
  • High contrast: light text with a dark plate, or a karaoke highlight.
  • Leave the lower ~18% of the frame empty so TikTok chrome does not cover words.
  • Roman Urdu works well on TikTok because viewers can read it at speed.
